Super Simple Highlighter - Private, Permanent Web Highlighter

Super Simple Highlighter is a unique Chrome extension empowering users to create enduring, private highlights on any web page. It provides several built-in styles like basic colors, redaction, blurs and others. The application allows highlights creation through the mouse or keyboard shortcuts. A popup dialog lets you navigate through a page's highlights, while summarizing them for print or save. This process is entirely private, with no data leaving your browser. Note: This extension does not sync across devices and highlights may not always be successfully restored.
